A surgical resident writes:
I’m sure you have read several recent studies suggesting that current general surgery residents are poorly trained and unprepared for independent practice at the completion of residency.
My questions for you:
1. In general, do you agree that current general surgery residents are poorly trained and unable to operate independently at the completion of residency?
2. What should we do differently? I personally don’t feel that “more simulation activities,” which many have suggested, is an adequate solution.
Thank you for the excellent questions.
I have been out of the surgical education loop for a few years and no longer have first-hand experience, but the literature does indicate that some surgical residency graduates are not ready to practice by themselves.
